Byford railway station is located on the South Western Railway in Western Australia. It serves the south-eastern Perth suburb of Byford.
History[]
The original Byford station was the terminus for selected services from Perth. It closed and was demolished in the late 1980s.
In the late 1990s, a new station was built as a calling place for The Australind.[1]
Armadale Line Extension[]
As part of Metronet, it has been announced that Transperth's Armadale Line service will be extended to a new station in Byford, approximately 400 metres north of Abernethy Road.[2][3][4] The station will include parking for up to 600 cars, a new bus interchange and a pedestrian connection across the rail line. Options for removing the level crossings along the rail between Armadale and Byford are also being considered as part of the project.[5]
